Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

lol i like those crazy chicks and evil female villains! why dont u give me her phone number and i'll check her out and find out for you?

If I knew her number, I'd give it to you, but I think I lack the ability to describe her properly. I don't think I could wish that girl on my worst enemies. There's crazy, and then there's this girl. In all honesty, there was one time in my life where I really contemplated murder. I honestly, for a good 2 minutes, thought about killing her. I knew I'd get caught and that wasn't a problem. I thought very hard about it. I thought would life in prison be worth saving all the people this thing would come in contact with? You know, taking one for the team! Sacrificing my life and freedom so no other person would ever have to go through this.

In the end, I decided against it, but damn, that's the best I can do at describing her. I always refer to her a psycho bitch but I can PM you her real name if you'd like to try and look her up. Last I heard she was doing some time for criminal possession of a controlled substance to the 7th degree (crack cocaine) and something about writing bad checks. I don't know if it was true or just someone trying to put a smile on my face.

She was working at Lockheed once.

When I got my job at DCSI she started crying. At first, I thought it was tears of joy, then she started hitting me and I'm like wtf! She says it's not fair!! I owe over 100,000 in student debt for a 4 year degree and YOU get a good job with no degree at all!!!!

I moved up to DCSI and never told her. I just left. Anyway, I move in with one of the other workers up there, my friend Leigh. I'm sleeping in his guest room. Around the third night or so, I wake up and see this shadow standing over my bed. I start to scream a little, the lights come on, I see it's her and just start screaming like someone was murdering me!!!! Leigh, in the other room, busts out laughing!!! And she says something like it's okay Kenny, it's just me!

I was thinking no shit! Why do you think I'm screaming?!?! And then she says you forget to call me and give me your new address!!! My ex-girlfriend gave her my new address. My ex's brother helped me move up there so he knew it and gave it to his sister when she asked. So, we tried it a bit longer, trying to make it work. Me and her get our own place maybe a week later. It doesn't work out. I end up. And guess what? She doesn't move out! Stays with me!!!! I tried calling the cops but she told them she was living there for over a month. I said that she was lying and we just moved in but they took her word. They said I had to legally get her evicted if I wanted her gone. In the end, I paid her off. She wanted a grand and said she'd move. I said no, 500$. She says 700$ and my tent. I had a nice tent and said fuck it, okay 700$ and a tent. Then, she tells my friends back home that I kicked her to the curb and she was forced to live in the woods in a tent. I told them it was BS. I gave her 700$, that was more than enough to get into a place up in Windsor / Deposit.

I don't know if you really want a girl like that but if you do, I'll PM ya her real name.

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

You forgot one that's related to electronics. The electronics engineers proved mathematically that you could never have a radio in your car because the tuning capacitor could not be shrunk down small enough. Lear, the man behind the jet, wasn't an engineer and just built one. His first success that bankrolled all his other work.

I dated an engineer for a very little bit, and I have to say, that was the worst experience in my entire life, ever. She claimed she was some sort of genius but I dunno man. We disagreed on a lot of stuff. We were talking about hypothesis's and she said your job is to create evidence to support your hypothesis. I mean, four year's of college she had and it's like blah! She argued with me over everything! She was freaking nuts!!! I mean honestly, crazily NUTS!!!! She showed me pictures of her house, where she grew up. I felt sorry for her, but she lived in this shack and had cardboard covering the walls and ceilings. She said her mum and her would put it up because it made great insulation.

In all seriousness, if there ever was a person who was evil, this girl was it. I think she's the only real engineer I've ever met, so I'm guessing it was just her and the rest of the engineers are okay, but maybe they're all like that!

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

you could get rid of man-made space junk, but who wants to pay for it!

btw, the speed of light is not fixed, you can speed it up or slow it down with magnetic fields.
all the crap theory's revolving around it come from "scientists" trying to sound clever when they actually know nothing.

"scientists" came out wih similar crap theory's about the speed of sound - until it was broken.

they also came out with crap theory's about much slower speeds.
i seem to remember something about man not being able to travel faster than 30MPH without being killed by it during the early days of the horseless carriage.

that theory went to shit once railways started being built!

bottom-line: theory's arent worth the paper they are quoted on.
Tesla hated Einstein and knew he was a plaguarist anyway.
he stated that discovery's come from experiments and not from writing theoretical numbers down.!!!

I majored in chem tech for a little bit. I got sick and couldn't catch up. Missing just one week was enough to put me way behind. Anyway, I learned some stuff. One thing was the word theory, it's one of the most misused words ever! A theory is a hypothesis that has soooo much evidence supporting it that we pretty much know this is the way it is. Now, one of the most wonderful things about science is you never try to prove anything. You always try to disprove stuff. While you're trying to disprove your hypothesis, you build evidence to support it. If you do disprove it, you change the hypothesis.

Theories are changeable as well. As soon as we get evidence to disprove the theory, we change the hypothesis and start over. Once we get enough supporting evidence, we send it off to be reviewed by peers. If they can conduct the same experiments and get the same results and not find a way to disprove, then we might have something.

The speed of light is generally considered a constant, but you're right, we believe that it might be influenceable. I remember when I took a college course a very long time ago, a professor told me scientists were able to successfully change the speed of light by doing some weird stuff but for the most part, we consider it a constant. This allows certain equations to be finished real nice like.

One thing I've never liked is the idea behind dark matter / dark energy. Jacobus Kapteyn suggested the idea first, back in 1922. Some scientists calculate the weight of a galaxy and the galaxy doesn't weigh enough. The stars on the outside should just fling off into space. So, what do scientists do? Instead of saying hey, we got some formulas wrong or we don't fully understanding gravity like we thought we did, or we can't successfully calculate the weight of the galaxy or hey, we messed up somewheres, let's find out where....instead of any of that, they say hey! These galaxy's don't weigh enough, therefore, there's gotta be something there that's just impossible to detect and it weighs something. In fact, it's all over the galaxy, and it just happens to weigh enough to let our equations work! Yay!

I mean, come on, doesn't that violate the scientific method? Creating evidence to support the hypothesis? Shouldn't they of changed the hypothesis? The worst part, it's now an extremely popular belief! Most scientists believe in it and they actually teach that crap in schools.

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

...any junk you put in high-orbit is going to get destroyed anyway - there is lots of small and medium size rocks and even dust clouds flying by up there...

This is a big problem and something we need to fix. I believe we can safely create some sort of magnetic field that could help protect against certain things, but the main reason we don't, it's very expensive to send stuff up there, and the more it weighs, the more it costs. The only way I could think of (but I didn't think too hard) was a molten core around whatever and we just keep it flowing, the same way Earth's magnetic field is created.

Astronauts get these little dust particles that shoot straight through their ship and them. They look real weird as well. We don't really know if there's any negative effects to this.

And of course, all that freaking junk up there! We should work on sending that stuff on a collision course with the sun once we're done with it, instead of just leaving it dead in space.

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

firstly geostationary orbit is 23,000 miles if i remember right - less and your dropping slowly.
second, man has not officially been in outer space - your refering to high-orbit or just beyond it.
3rd space is not a vacuum, it is a low pressure mixture of gasses.

any junk you put in high-orbit is going to get destroyed anyway - there is lots of small and medium size rocks and even dust clouds flying by up there
leonid showers should sound familiar for example.

and dont forget the earth is moving through space, anything you build has to move with it.

We are getting technical. Virtually a vacuum. I believe Telstar is still up there. Perhaps that is why John Mankins choose a low earth orbit for the power station.

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

First the orbit would be 2200 miles above the earth. It would have to be assembled in outer space. I would imagine that it would be of very light weight material just enough to have about a 1 square mile of solar cells with a Fresnel Lens. Then this energy that was capture, that the Sun provides for free, could be beamed around in outer space's vacuum with out loosing any energy

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

yes, high orbit decays outwards, low orbit decays inwards.

Do you know what's considered a high orbit / low orbit?

I once had a hypothesis. You travel fast enough, you leave Earth's gravitational pull and go into space. If you don't, you simply circle around Earth or you fly up and come crashing back down. You have to get that speed. My hypothesis was if we were somehow able to travel faster than the speed of light, we'd leave the universe and see what was outside space / time.

Someone smarter than me said this could never happen. If we found a way to go faster than the speed of light, we'd create some super massive black hole that would destroy the universe or something.

I still thought it was a good hypothesis though. I came up with it when I was researching something called quantum entanglement. Scientists believe atoms that are quantumly entangled "communicate" with each other, sending messages, 15,000x the speed of light. It's hard to gather evidence to support this though. It's very hard to measure something that fast with today's technology. Anyway, if they actually are sending messages at 15,000x the speed of light, because of the work Einstein did, that'd mean those messages would be being sent outside of space and time.

all orbits slowly decay from gravity.

First the orbit would be 2200 miles above the earth. It would have to be assembled in outer space. I would imagine that it would be of very light weight material just enough to have about a 1 square mile of solar cells with a Fresnel Lens. Then this energy that was capture, that the Sun provides for free, could be beamed around in outer space's vacuum with out loosing any energy with Microwave Dishes. Then down to Earth to were ever it is needed. In outer space the energy from the sun done in this method is about a factor of 10X greater. So a one square mile array would be equal to 10 Square miles on earth. And the difference is it would be available 24/7 so the 10X factor now would increase at least another factor of 30X. Making the over all factor of 40X. Now the 1 Square mile becomes 40 square miles on earth.

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

but.... but... the moon's orbit is not decaying otherwise it would be a "deep impact" or "armageddon" movie. in fact, astronomers have found that the moon is actually getting further and further away from earth!

Yes, most people I don't think know that the moon is in fact moving away, very slowly, but moving away none-the-less.

I know you probably already know, but for those who don't, I believe the reason the moon's orbit isn't decaying is because of the mass of the moon and it being gravitationally locked to Earth's orbit. It's attracted to the Earth but it's spinning around fast enough where that gravitational pull just isn't strong enough, I believe.

With the discover of the Higgs Boson, maybe we'll understand gravity a bit better and make some sort of engine that's just anti-gravitational and doesn't require any fuel or something. That'd be nice. :-P

This sucks! There goes my chance at becoming President and uniting mankind! Thank you for sharing though. Now I can contact my friends and let them know the truth!!

It's a bit sad though but usually stuff that sounds too good to be true are actually too good to be true.

I still like the orbital power station. Of course that would cost around 1 trillion dollars.

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

Not necessarily true! For example, I'm going to be President, I know that for a fact! And, I can see a bit of the future. Like the telephone poles, I'm doing away with them. Roadways? I'm replacing them, along with park lots, with solar panels, smart ones. They can light up and display stuff like the parking lines and handicap symbols. They can let you know if deer are in the road up a head, or if there's an accident. These already exist. Google something like Solar Freaking Powered Roadways

They should be able to generate enough electricity so everyone in America can have free, renewable energy.

Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.

Yea most the people my age do not know much about computers. I went to school for electrical technology that taught both digital and analog theory. All of are labs where with discrete components. When I worked in industry they needed a computer technician so that is what I became. Most of the analog stuff was closing down like TV repair and radios. Analog circuits started to make a comeback in 1986. I really wanted to be an artist, but my Dad thought artist were nothing but bums. I needed a sit down profession because I hurt my back doing a warehouse job so I became a technician. This is the only reason I know something on today's equipment. My dad was a controlled alcoholic when he was working. He would save getting drunk for the week end. When we moved to Florida when I was 16 years old he would get drunk every night with his bosses. When he got into his 60's after we moved back to MA he would hide his bottles around the house thinking my mother would not find them. My Brother Gary, not the one who lives near you, became an alcoholic when he was 12 years old. He is still an alcoholic and he is going to be 69 years old this year. He used to be a really nasty drunk. He has mellowed a little with age. He would stay drunk most of the time and usually was hung-over when he worked. So I am well aware of that type of craziness.

My dad used to be meaner than a rattlesnake when he drank but calmed down a bit over the years as well. He does some weird stuff now, even when he's sober. The docs says if he quits drinking, his brain might not get worse, but if he keeps on drinking, it'll kill him. We're hoping that's enough for him to want to quit.

My parents always had this saying, something about they're not alcoholics because alcoholics drink before noon. They'd always wait until noon to start drinking. When my dad was at work, he'd wait until he got home. My mum was a stay at home mum and my dad was an over-the-road truck driver. To this day, I have no idea how he never got caught driving in the car drinking. There were sometimes when we was real scared riding with him because we were just kids. I remember one time, coming back from one of my sisters parties up in Watkins. Mum and dad were both real trashed and dad just kept driving through the stop signs and red lights. He drove on the wrong side of the road. My mum kept on yelling at him saying he was going to get pulled over and then she just threw up all over the car. It was horrible! We thought we were going to die, but once he got on the highway, he did alright.
